Artifact is a digital card game coming from the makers of Dota 2 and a collaboration with legendary card game designer Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering.

Artifact features more than 280 cards in the shipping set, including 44 heroes, players will be able to buy and sell cards on the Steam Community Marketplace. Artifact will also be supported as a service through expansions, competitive events, and new features.

The Artifact Beta is coming soon and while we get everything polished, we're at the point where we're excited to share some previously unseen features.

On November 10-11, the Artifact Preview Tournament will feature 128 players competing over a prize pool of USD $10,000. Hosted by Beyond The Summit and broadcast on SteamTV, the all-draft event will feature a 7-round Swiss bracket on Saturday. A top 8 single-elimination bracket will decide the winner on Sunday. Both days begin at 9AM PST.

The tournament will be run entirely through an in-client tournament system which will be available for everyone to use on launch day, November 28th.

Artifact is scheduled for release on Steam starting November 28, 2018.
